Henrik Stenson has withdrawn from this week's Shell Houston Open due to a fever and a sore throat.

Golfing.se reported the news. Stenson has been on a tear, and this setback is unrelated to his golf swing, so we shouldn't adjust our lofty expectations in advance of next week's Masters where he placed a career-best T14 last year. Mar 30 - 12:39 PM

Henrik Stenson submitted a disappointing 2-under-par 35-35=70 in the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational and finished alone in second at 18-under 270.

The Swede will certainly rue this as a missed opportunity. He suffered a three-putt bogey on the par-4 15th and followed that with a three-putt par from just off the green on the par-5 16th, ultimately missing a playoff by one stroke. Though he circled four birdies to just two bogeys, the putter killed him all day long. He missed six putts from inside of 10 feet. He had a birdie bid from 20'7" to force a playoff on the 18th hole, but it was a forgone conclusion that he would miss it. The bright spot was his ball-striking, as he finished the week first in strokes gained: tee-to-green. He will now lick his wounds as he continues to prepare for the Masters in a few weeks.

Henrik Stenson took control of the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a bogey-free 6-under-par 34-32=66 in the third round and leads by two strokes at 16-under 200.

The Swede circled four birdies and an eagle on his trot around Bay Hill Club and Lodge. His putter produced on three occasions, rattling home birdies from 11'5" and 12'8" on the par-4 ninth and 15th holes and landing an eagle from 19''10" on the par-5 16th. He put on a ball-striking display, splitting 12 of 14 fairways and landing 16 GIR. Stenson gained over four strokes tee-to-green and ranks inside the top 10 in both strokes gained: tee-to-green and strokes gained: putting. He entered the week as the favorite of many, and he has done nothing to disappoint. Mar 21 - 5:39 PM

Henrik Stenson backed up his opening 68 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a 6-under-par 36-30=66 in today's second round.

The score is terrific, obviously, but it's how he closed that grabs our attention even more. After trading two birdies with two bogeys going out, Stenson picked off six birdies on his inward side, including on each of the last four holes. That closing run included conversions from five yards off the green at the par-4 15th and conventional rolls of 41'10" and 17'11" at Nos. 17 and 18, respectively. His early pair featured runs from 10-and-a-half feet at the third hole and 22'2" at No. 5. He even poured in a par save from 10'8" at the par-3 seventh. At last check, Stenson's strokes gained: putting clip for the round measured 4.893.; he ranked second in the field for the week. At 10-under 134, he's tied for second, three strokes adrift of 36-hole leader Morgan Hoffmann. Mar 20 - 5:56 PM
